Modern Bosch starters are smaller and way lighter (17lbs vs 8lbs) than the stock ones.
Get the starter that fits a diesel/VR6 engines. No bushing required. Lots of power and spins the engine almost to idle speed.
I think most people don't have issues with hot starts, and the bosch rebuilds are pretty decent.
I've done my starter once, this was about 12 years ago. I did it with a remanufactured Bosch unit. I haven't heard anything about heat affecting the starters.
Am fost inclusiv la reprezentanta. Mi-au recomandat s\u0103 schimb electromotorul. Schimbat, pus Valeo.
Its a pretty simple swap. Everything can be done from above no need to jack the car up, takes maybe 30 minutes to swap.
Get a bosch starter from amazon, any starter you get from a parts store is going to be shit quality. Bosch, or one direct from gm are the only good ones.
One was from rock auto and was new Bosch. It looked different than the one in the car but matched overall length and teeth. The other one was a rebuilt bosch from advance auto. They tested it for me in house before I left. I can hear the gear spin but not engaging.
Valeos are fine until the magnets fail, and they will.
Never Valeo. JUNK.
